STuCKS-The stock market to-day was
strong all the way out, though the progress
made during tho forenoon was small. The
bears felt the market III the morning, bat

aud considerable covering was done. An
effort to depress prices by special action

Manitoba showed unusual strength, fol-
lowed by the Missouri Pacific, Union Pa
cific and the rest OF the list. Canada
